We analyze how network effects affect competition in the nascent copyright Slushes market.We do so by examining early dynamics of exchange rates among different cryptocurrencies.While Bitcoin essentially dominates this market, our data suggest no evidence of a winner-take-all effect early in the market.Indeed, for a relatively long period, a few ot
Molecular Characterization and Nutritional Regulation of Two Fatty Acid Elongase (elovl8) Genes in Chinese Perch (Siniperca chuatsi)
Proteins for elongation of very long-chain fatty acids (ELOVLs) are critical for the synthesis of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs), and they are one group of the rate-limiting enzymes responsible for the initial condensation reaction within the fatty acid elongation.Elovl8 is a newly identified member of the ELOVL protein family, a
